Strategic infrastructure


An article in the 'Indian Express' states that there could be 17 projects planned by China in the area of Gilgit and Baltisan.

Around 122 companies are active in Pakistan, POK and Gilgit. Mobile connectivity,Power Projects,Rail and Road...in one word, China is on its toes for infrastructure in this area. We will take a look at where the strategic investments and partnerships are on:

1. Upgradation of the Karakoram highway 2. Pakistan-China Rail Link 3. Jhelum Bridge 4. 5 Bailey bridges 5. Mining 6. Sust Dry Port 7. Setting up towers for mobile connectivity 8. Diamer Basha Dam 9. Magla Dam raising 10. Neelum Jhelum Hydro Power Project 11. Four other hydro power projects


Well. This is strategic co-operation. Full marks to China and Pakistan! Engage India in an aimless battle and perform a turn around by coming round its neck! Brilliant work really. India is yet to see light of reason. The key to several issues is 'strategic infrastructure' and the speed at which you deliver. The impact of economic development on the ethnicity and activity-camouflaged populace can be immense. Even in the event of a serious conflict, this would be central to taking strategic decisions. 

India has lost its battle if you look at it from this angle. Time defines and explains all opportunity costs!
